Maellis said: " I was lucky enough to get a copy before its release date and I still can’t believe it. Since March 2017, this is the book I’ve been thinking about every single day. It might sound over the top but it’s how much I wanted it, how much I love this serie I was lucky enough to get a copy before its release date and I still can’t believe it. Since March 2017, this is the book I’ve been thinking about every single day. It might sound over the top but it’s how much I wanted it, how much I love this series, how much I needed to read about Paige and Warden/Arcturus again (my friends and colleagues can testify). I tried to take my time with this book and I think I did - I spent 5 nights reading it, 5 nights of pure enjoyment... to be fair the last one was, well, something else.

So what did I love about this book? Everything really. The plot thickens, the new set of characters is amazing, some familiar faces open themselves up, some reveal their true nature, the writing style is stronger (oh my, how certain sentences touched my very soul), and the setting is brillant - I live near Paris and I felt like Paige was so close to me. The sense of familiarity was the best and I want to cry because I miss the peaceful times Paige and Arcturus got in the safe house. Paige says it at some point, but it felt like home, for them and for me. I will cherish this place and the time they spent in it forever - I feel like we won’t have that in the upcoming books, I hope I’m wrong.

About the ending. I’m in denial. I’m hurt and I think I still haven’t grasped everything and realised the consequences of what happened. My one piece of advice is that you need to read the last 80 pages in a row. After chapter 21, you won’t be able to put the book down. Trust me.

Let me tell you something with complete honesty: The Mask Falling was worth the wait and it is without a doubt my favorite instalment so far. It’s going to be really hard to surpass this one because how can you do better than that? But I trust Samantha Shannon with every fibre of my being. She’s a genius, I knew it but with TMF, she really outdid herself. And broke my heart in the process but I’ll be fine, I will (🙈)

So one last thing that I can’t say enough - thank you Samantha. This series is by far my favorite and I’m so glad I learn from what you write, in your books and on socials media. I’m definitely a lucky reader. Merci 🧡 - & I forgive you for the heartache. ...more "
